Executive Brief

You're being discovered
You're not being recommended

AI mentions this brand in 24% of tracked answers — but recommends a competitor in most of them. The gap between being seen and being chosen is where growth is won.

ViceRank is an AI visibility monitoring platform for CBD and hemp brands. It measures how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention, recommend and describe CBD products and retailers, then generates a prioritized plan to close visibility and trust gaps.

THE NEW DISCOVERY JOURNEY

Your Next Customer May Ask AI Before Visiting Google

Customers increasingly use conversational AI to ask for recommendations, comparisons, trusted providers and local options. For CBD and hemp businesses, being absent — or being described inaccurately — can send a high-intent customer directly to a competitor. ViceRank shows the exact prompts you win and lose, the engines that mention or recommend you, and the online sources influencing each answer.

PROMPT-BY-ENGINE EVIDENCE

See Exactly What AI Says About You

A per-prompt evidence table is the centerpiece: for "best full-spectrum CBD gummies," Claude mentions you, ChatGPT doesn't mention you at all. Each row links the finding to a specific fix.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Why Do CBD Brands Disappear From AI Answers?

Unsupported or exaggerated health claims create both a compliance risk and a reason cautious AI models leave a brand out of the answer entirely.
Certificates of analysis and third-party lab results are often buried in PDFs or missing, so AI systems can’t verify or cite what actually makes a product trustworthy.
Ad platform and marketplace restrictions on CBD limit paid acquisition, making organic and AI-driven discovery disproportionately valuable.
Product-line fragmentation — tinctures, gummies, topicals, pet products — makes it hard for AI to understand which product answers which question.
TRUST & COMPLIANCE SIGNALS

What Trust Signals Do AI Engines Look For?

CBD is one of the categories AI models treat most cautiously. Lab-tested transparency is the single biggest lever for moving from "not mentioned" to "recommended."
